3. Connect to Wi-Fi

Connect to the Nerdaxe via your smartphone or computer. The Nerdaxe should appear in your search list as Nerdaxe_xxxx (xxxx = sequence of numbers)

The following screenshots show the connection via browser.

Important Note on Network Configuration

Both the WI-FI name and the password must be entered with the correct capitalization. Special characters and spaces must also be entered correctly, otherwise the Bitaxe will not be able to connect to the WI-FI. It is recommended to use the integrated WLAN search (on the right in the Wi-Fi SSID field).

Tip: If the WI-FI connection doesn't work, try using the guest WLAN. This often makes the connection easier.

4. Configure Network

After connecting to your Nerdaxe Gamma, enter the IP address of your Nerdaxe into your browser. You can find the address on your miner's display.

If the IP address is not visible, you can switch between pages using the buttons next to the display until you have the correct view.

To access the network configuration view, click on Settings (gear icon) in the left menu column.

Enter your Wi-Fi access data:

  • Hostname: The name of the device in the local network (not relevant, can best be left as is)
  • Wi-Fi SSID: The name of your local Wi-Fi network
  • Wi-Fi Password: Your Wi-Fi password

Then click Save and then Restart. The Nerdaxe will now restart.

Nerdaxe Pool and wallet setup

5. Mining Settings

We recommend using the pre-configured mining pools. Simply enter your own Bitcoin address, to which you want to mine, into the "Stratum User" and "Fallback Stratum User" fields.

To give the device a name in the mining pool, you can add ".nerdaxegamma" after the address. Example: bc1puft26r8tk48r3ne29t3uvvhe98jsmh8p9g7g29wcwnkkls4gze0s96sju7.nerdaxegamma

Then press Restart again. The miner will restart and immediately begin mining to your own Bitcoin address.

6. Increase in hashrate

On the dashboard, you will see a graph that displays your hashrate and some other data.

The displayed hashrate is based on a 10-minute moving average. Since your miner starts at 0, it will take 10 minutes for the actual hashrate to be displayed.
